                  Personally I would go with a clayton 1st and a rockkrawler would be my second choice.

                      rockkrawler without a doubt the best bang for the buck.

                        Ed after looking at the 3 companies trac-bars Id say go Clayton. I only say that because of the bigger tube diameter which allows for bigger stronger ends and also on the build your own that they offer the use of the crushed in Johnny joint would be a benefit to the strength also.


                        But also keep in mind jks has the option to do a sector shaft and reinforcement brace for the steering box and opposite sub frame rail. But you'd probably have to run their trac bar for it to work.


                        I would say both have benefits and either would be great. Just throwing in a couple pennies.

                          i really like the clayton trac bar. although i kinda want the frame cross brace aswell. does clayton have anything like that?
                          and thanks alot for the help!

                            No but you can either make one or run it without 1, just do a couple of stitch welds on the TB bracket to frame and be done..
                            I ran an RE's extreme TB system and the joints/bar/hardware were all smaller than clayton's but I got claytons because i came across a deal I couldn't pass up, If I had to pay full price... it would've been Rockkrawler all day long(best deal for the money), But I'm glad I ended up with claytons as well, it's very good stuff just $$$

                              yeah the money is the problem. i dont have that chunk of change to just drop hah. i was thinking about getting the RE with bracket and cross brace. the total price comes out to be more than clayton. i was told that jks has a cross brace?

                                Just looked into the sector shaft reinforcement and the Clayton build your own. Considering the sector shaft bracket is set up for a 2.5 Johnny joint the Clayton build your own track bar should work with it but I'm not sure it it will work do to the fact that it doesn't have the bend for the differential like most of the trac bars you see.
